Choosing the Right Lure for Bass Fishing -  Season and Temperature

Choosing the Right Lure for Bass Fishing - Season and Temperature

Overview

 

  • Cold-Blooded Nature of Bass (00:00): Bass are cold-blooded and their activity levels depend on water temperature. They move less and feed less in colder conditions, unlike warm-blooded humans.

  • Cold Weather Lure Selection (00:25): In colder months, bass and bait fish are sluggish, requiring slower and more natural baits like trick worms, Carolina rigs, and Shaky Heads to entice them.

  • Winter Reaction Baits (01:18): Reaction baits like tight-wobbling crankbaits or Rattle Traps are useful for covering more water and locating bass in winter, but they should have less action compared to summer baits.

  • Warmer Weather Lure Choices (02:03): As temperatures rise, bass become more active and willing to chase, so wider-wobbling crankbaits, bigger baits, and top water lures can be used effectively in warmer months.

  • Seasonal Activity Patterns (02:29): Bass feed less frequently in winter and more often in warmer months. This influences lure choice and fishing techniques based on seasonal activity levels.
